My Students

"Music education can help spark a child's imagination or ignite a lifetime of passion. When you provide a child with new worlds to explore and challenges to tackle, the possibilities are endless. Music education should not be a privilege for a lucky few, it should be a part of every child's world of possiblity." - Hillary Clinton

I believe in working to provide my students the very best music education possible.

My pre-kindergarten through third grade music students are hard-working, fun-loving, and a pleasure to teach. I want to encourage their love for learning, and inspire them to grow as learners and musicians.

My Project

In our classroom, we listen to a lot of recorded music. On one day, we might listen to and analyze symphonic works, move creatively, or experiences great musicians' performances. For all these activities, a good set of speakers is necessary.

My current set of computer speakers has seen better days.

It sits in pieces on my desk. It hasn't been able to withstand the wear and tear of continued classroom use.

I'd love to give my students the opportunity to listen to music on a Megablast speaker. This speaker connects through bluetooth, which means I can connect my computer, iPad, or phone to the music, and thus give my students access to a larger library of music than we currently have. It can be moved around the room for a better listening experience, and it can be easily used in the gym or outside for those times when our exciting music-making just can't be contained by the four classroom walls! By helping us purchase this new speaker, you'll be bringing music to our ears in a new, better way!
